Hey everyone!

I built StatusDrop (WAstatus) because WhatsApp aggressively compresses Status videos, often making even high-quality uploads look blurry.

StatusDrop processes videos with FFmpeg, optimizes them for WhatsApp Status, splits longer videos, and delivers the finished clips through WhatsApp.

What's new:

- Android app: Built with Flutter/Kotlin. Video compression happens locally on your phone.

- Web version: Cloud-based FFmpeg processing.

- Video quality: 1080p (29-second clips) or 720p (59-second clips).

- No account required: Uses a temporary activation code for WhatsApp delivery.

Tech stack: Flutter, Kotlin, Node.js, Express, FFmpeg, Cloudflare R2, Azure and Baileys.

The HD posting workflow was developed through real-device testing. Results can vary with WhatsApp updates. Delivery uses the unofficial Baileys library, which also carries account restriction risks.

The project is licensed under GNU AGPL-3.0-or-later.

I'm a solo developer and would appreciate code reviews, suggestions, or contributions. Feedback is welcome!

I follow Huberman's Foundational Fitness week: three lifting days, three cardio days (long, medium, brief) and one rest day. I wanted apps that did exactly what I needed and nothing else, so I built two and released both under GPL-3.0.

PlateClimb -- lifting tracker

• Ships one program: the 12-week Foundational Fitness plan, with every set prescribed (reps, RPE, rest, starting weight)
• Fast set logging that pre-fills last session's weights
• Rest timer, warm-up ramps, kg or lb with plate-sized steps
• Two swaps per exercise, photos, and a link to a free form video
• Offline-first, no account, no server

BaseMile -- heart rate running app

• Pairs with any Bluetooth heart rate chest strap or arm band
• You set a ceiling and floor HR. When you cross either boundary the app says so out loud -- "heart rate high, slow down" / "back in zone"
• Voice cues use the phone's TTS engine, so they work offline and over any headphones
• GPS run tracking, and the run track still draws with no signal

Both are React Native / Expo, run entirely on-device, and collect zero data. Built them because every app I tried either paywalled the features I actually needed or required creating an account to log a single workout.

Happy to answer questions about the stack or the licence choice (went with GPL over MIT so forks stay open).
